*** Risk Assessment ***
Based on the analysis performed by this tool: This system is not vulnerable.

For more information refer to the SA-00086 Detection Tool Guide or the
Intel security advisory Intel-SA-00086 at the following link:

Dell has a list of it's computers that are at risk an it is quite long.

According to the Intel advisory, among the Core line, only gen 6,7,8
are affected. So no need to run the detection tool on the 2620M above,
as it's a gen 2. Likewise, mine's a 2760QM, so I'm not going to bother.

I have a "Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T6670 @ 2.20GHz" in my Thinkpad R500 -- I
am guessing this is too old to have the ME feature. My desktop has an AMD
processor (AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 945 Processor). I also have an *old* Mac Mini
with some sort of (old) Intel processor, roughly of the same vintage as my
Thinkpad R500, possibly older. that I use as a build box.

Two of my systems report vulnerabilty but I can't find clear instructions
from the URL below. One of the systems was built up from an MSI motherboard
and the MSI website has no mention of SA-00086.

If it is just the firmware, then I would assume that the kernel firmware in
linux could handle it. Or is that not true?

And what can the manufacturers (who intel points you to to fix this) do abuot
it? And with many many computers not made by big long lived manufacturers does
this mean that Intel is just leaving most machines out to dry?
